The scale here is appalling. About 8,500 sexual offences against children 13 and under were logged at or near schools in England and Wales between 2021 and 2025, including roughly 2,000 rapes and attempted rapes. So that's about one a day. Read that again. That's one rape a DAY in an environment meant to protect children. Where sex was recorded, girls were the clear majority of victims. I've banged on about this so many times but the proliferation of porn is not a fringe issue here. The Children's Commissioner has already said children are viewing violent porn, it's changing behaviour and that peer led abuse has become widespread and normalised. By watching material such as this, our boys are getting a sex education from this material built around domination, coercion and women being just holes to be used and then as a consequence, are taking that mindset into schools. So is it any wonder? I notice what the coverage avoids is the sex of the perpetrators. We're told the victims are mostly girls and that it's "child on child". We're not told, in simple terms, that the pattern is overwhelmingly boys harming girls. That matters because if you can't name who's doing it then you can't say what has to change or even begin to address the root cause and so the cycle perpetuates. It also helps to begin to explain something adults in these settings keep treating as a mystery, the glaring rise in teen girls calling themselves nonbinary or trans. Once a girl develops, she becomes an object in the eyes of lots of boys whose idea of normal sex has now been warped by this harmful online material. Opting out of being a girl can look, to her, like the only way not to be targeted and so in their eyes it's a perfectly rational response to a truly frightening environment.
